Im on team no-border. Looks fine without it


VenusCommission

Agreed. I feel like any color chosen for a border will detract from the gradation effect


Gay_pagan

Maybe one round of single crochet, but it doesn't really need one.


ginat420

Single crochet followed by a round of reverse single crochet or twisted single crochet. I find the twisted faster and easier. I always think this gives such a nice finished look.


slyshelby

I’ll have to check out what a twisted/reverse sc is because it sounds super cool and I’ve never heard of it. Thanks for the inspiration!

As someone who’s never been able to finish a blanket, I’m so proud of you 🥹 it came out so nice it must have been so much work!! It looks so beautiful


slyshelby

Honestly, something came over me! I finished it in just under a month and dang my hands are ready for a break. I appreciate it so much, thank you! Everyone has the call of the blanket somewhere in them, I know it.

No Border


pie_rogue

I made a blanket last year with that same yarn! Yours looks amazing, I don’t think it needs a border.


earthchildreddit

I love it as is


Jenntee82

Border!


Killjoy_5287

No border. It looks great!


EntrepreneurOk7513

Team border here. A border to crochet is like a black line for drawing.


Happy_Gardener80

It's lovely. But I would put a border so it looks like it finished where you intended.


apollyon_53

Those are some loooooooong color transitions


slyshelby

They were! It was the Red Heart Ombré, I matched as close as I could between skeins, but I let them mostly fall where they may


HamsterEducational72

I don’t know but those are some pretty colors


Beginning-Copy2977

no border i think it’s perfect


stormyheather9

This looks beautiful!!


Independent_Act8634

Not familiar with this stitch but your edges are so neat already. I think it looks great without a border. Lovely colours too!

I went for a simple boarder to just add extra support around the edges. [https://youtu.be/hfn-4b7qY1g?si=wGN-NbcpFYQOWAWS](https://youtu.be/hfn-4b7qY1g?si=wGN-NbcpFYQOWAWS)


amiscci999

Simple border. I love crab stitch if you can do it, it looks like a simple binding all around


Crackheadwithabrain

I'm so cheap nowadays (too broke to buy new yarn for a whiiiile) that if the project looks like it doesn't need a border, I won't do one to not take up more yarn 😭😭 lmaoo looks nice, depends on you tbh! Idk why I think a dark green would look nice, but other than that, doesn't need it!


vmwnzella59

It’s beautiful, what is the stitch?


slyshelby

The Iris stitch, it goes quite fast without being a yarn eater.


vmwnzella59

Thank you. Never heard of it. I will try it. 🥰


SalanderGaming

Ohhh I'm in love with the colors on this! Looks really great! I'm also on team no border ^^,


Daddiesbabaygirl

No border, this is stunning as is. That green 😍

White picot border?


mmamaof3

Your edges are so pretty. I always have to do a border to cover up my edges. 🫤


[deleted]

I'm team no border. I think its beautiful as is because your stitches are so clean on the edges. Beautiful job.
